Slideout Extreme Tilt?

Can anyone comment on the extreme tilt while moving the hydraulic room slides out into position? We have a new 3921FB. We traded in a 2013 3900FB. I don't believe the old one having an such an extreme tilt like this one.

When you hit the "out button" on the command control, the room begins to slideout. However, the bottom moves first while the top is still in contact with the outside wall. If you stop the slide movement at this point and measure, the bottom is out approximately 8" and the top is 0".

Is this normal or should I be concerned about a problem down the road?

BTW, inside along the floor where the slide comes in contact with it seems to really have a lot of downward pressure.

Thanks, Tony

2018 3790RD - our kitchen slide does the same which holds the fridge, pantry, stove, and microwave. We have not had any issues in 11 months.

If it bothers you just push the top of the slide out. its probably dragging on the seals. Ours does the same.

The Service Center had to remove our big slide on our 2010 because they cut the hole too small at the factory.

My kitchen slide does the same as you describe, and my DR slide is similar but not as drastic. I have examined both slides while someone else is operating them and I see no issues of concern. When they're in or out all the way they are plumb, and neither drag on the vinyl floor, so I conclude no problem.

I had that on my bedroom slide, turned out to be a bent ram arm. Replaced same and will not ever move slides with snow on them.

Slide tilt

My bedroom slide stays pretty even and snugs up well going in and out.

Living room hydraulic slides do tilt going in and out but they always snug up well. I just figured that's the way they roll!

Had that in our bedroom slide and found the frame of the bed was not anchored into the wall so the top would not go out. After re-securing and adding several L braces to bedroom to wall everything is fine.
